This is a pencil and chalk drawing of a young woman turned to the side. Her hands rest in her lap and her head tilts slightly. It’s a quiet, careful study in light and shadow. Redgrave often made these warm-up sketches before painting. This one may link to his later work *The Governess*. Look next at the artist Redgrave, Richard CB, RA, ARA.
